hello

to solve this problem, we will first of all find 6.5% in $9.00

this would be the cost or rate of the tax

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.5\text{ \% of 9.0} \\ \frac{6.5}{100}=\frac{x}{9.0} \\ x=\frac{9.0\times6.5}{100} \\ x=0.585 \end{gathered}[/tex]

the cost of the tax is $0.585

the total cost of the purchase is the sum of the cost of the chew toy plus the tax

[tex]9.0+0.585=9.585[/tex]

Kane spent $9.585 in the store
